Not to Be Trusted!

DO NOT let him near your face! I had lipo of my flanks, tummy and back a couple years ago and figured while I was going under for surgery I should go ahead and get a little lipo under my chin and spent the extra money for the skintyte procedure (about $2,500) on my neck and abdomen. Not only am I unsure they did the Skintyte at all (because my skin in both areas is completely saggy) but they didn’t even know if a compression garment for my neck was necessary afterwards! I found out too late that yes, in fact it IS! I bought something online but it was too late for it to have any positive influence on the outcome. With regard to the lipo, I ended up needing a couple revisions to fix the things he screwed up ( one flank has an indent because he took too much fat out and the other side has an area that had too much fat in a small area left behind so it looked really weird. I should mention that he asked while marking me before surgery what body type I was hoping to achieve and I specifically said “athletic type“ and nothing even remotely resembling a bbl! Well I guess he can’t help himself because I came out looking exactly like I had a bbl…so the revision was supposed to fix that too. I ended up paying another couple thousand dollars for the revisions and nothing changed afterwards. I asked the nurse at my post op appointment how much fat he removed in total during the revisions and she said literally almost nothing. I could not even believe my ears. He took my money, sedated me and did nothing to fix what he messed up and now I am basically deformed and have never worn a bathing suit in public again.
